  • Russell Brown,

    Jimmy Ryan's amazing before and after drone video of Dallington.

    Quietly glad to see a video where the music isn't Coldplay.

  • Swan,

    "There’s no way EQC will be able to get reinsurance for red zone land: it’s way too risky. Therefore no way private insurers will cover building houses."

    It's perfectly possible for the red zone land to be engineered to be suitable for redevelopment. Would it be economic? I am guessing medium-high density development would be required to make the sums work. I would expect some redevelopment (if economic) given the location and to allow the government to recover some of its costs.

    That reminded me of an ancient one-sentence review of a Rita Coolidge album: "It's got a nice drone, you can nod to it".

    Strangely broken link that gives me a URL saying:

    Ha. Clipboard contents were not as expected. Also, why didn’t I just paste in the damn link and let it auto-embed?
